An Infinite Journey From the Sea of ​​Stones

They are not afraid, at least there is one of their Demacia ships next to the living creature-like sea monster battleship, and the huge Shield of Glory can give them some Confidence.

The Naglfar, which was slowly approaching, made a strange sound like mourning on the empty sea, and what came out from the waves across the sea seemed to be the mourning of a dead person.

On the deck made of flesh and blood—or more like the head of a sea monster, Ahri, who was wearing a cloak covering his whole body, silently brought over Lacus who was sleeping in his arms.

Galen clenched the greatsword in his hand, and Xin Zhao pressed his shoulder to signal him to calm down - no matter what to do, now is not the time.

"Your princess is already here, so where is what I want?"

A pleasant voice sounded in their ears, and Xin Zhao and Galen nearly drew their weapons in shock, but the hands on their shoulders stopped them.

Yunjuan looked at the two German heroes and smiled very happily.

He likes these two people very much, who can not like someone who can bring him benefits?

"The Forbidden Stone you want is on the ship." Galen pointed to the Glory of the Shield Guard in the distance, and said coldly

"Wizard, return Lux to us!"

"Don't be so anxious, it's already reached this point, I will definitely not deny the business between us." Yunjuan rubbed his chin and said with a smile

"Although the situation was a little bit out of control, the person who assassinated Miss Laxana was also a Noxus, and I still saved her life, um...Of course, if you can't, then thorough."

Yunjuan beckoned, Ahri jumped off the boat with Lux in his arms and handed the sleeping Lux to the Fearless Pioneers. Xin Zhao immediately stepped forward to check, and after confirming that Lux was safe and sound, he pointed at Yun Juan said in a deep voice

"Why didn't Lux wake up?"

"Because of the excessive loss of magic power, the magic power she had squeezed for more than ten years burst out at once. It takes time to relax and adapt to the growth and changes of her body." Yun Juan took two steps back, stepping on the thin sea Playing with the taste on the sand

"She is growing, and her talent and strength can no longer be suppressed. She is a born mage and strong, but...she is a Demacian."

"It's none of your business!"

Galen interrupted her coldly, but his clenched fists announced that the heart of this Demacia power was not so peaceful.

"I can't hide it after all." Yunjuan smiled gloatingly

Yunjuan is looking forward to what kind of story will be staged after Lacus returns to Demacia, and what kind of path will this young lady, who has been instilled by him with ideas and ideas in advance, embark on.

Becoming a generation of magic queen, that should be a very interesting plot.

But it's a pity that he probably won't be able to see the development of this kind of plot. The story of the two cities has been staged to the last scene. When the time comes, Yunjuan will almost leave this world.

On the Shield Guard's Glory that was slowly approaching, the captain Takria looked at him with fire-spitting eyes, and Yunjuan waved to him with a smile, the captain almost drew his sword and slashed at him so excited.

But he still suppressed his anger, and moved box after box of forbidden magic stones to the beach.

Yunjuan opened one of the boxes and picked up the Forbidden Stone. The untreated Forbidden Stone is a silver-gray stone, deep, hard, and heavy.

But what is more special is that when any energy is poured into it, it will be absorbed and stored. Such a characteristic makes Yunjuan very curious.

Rather than calling this special mineral such a narrow name as the Charmanite, it would be better to call it an energy insulator. All energy except the physical form can be isolated and absorbed. How magical is the molecular arrangement that composes it?

Looking at Yunjuan who was playing with the Forbidden Stone, Xin Zhao slightly clenched the spear in his hand, he weighed it, and finally gave up the idea of ​​sneak attack.

It was crucial to bring Laksi back. In comparison, it was just a loss of more than ten tons of forbidden magic stones. Although it could be said that it was bleeding, it was still within the acceptable range.

"Very good, then a pleasant cooperation."

Yun Juan smiled and stretched out his hand, but Galen and Xin Zhao ignored him and carried Lux ​​onto the Glory of the Shield Guard.Yunjuan slowly withdrew his palm, but in Ari's view, that smile was even more frightening.

"What shall we do next?" Ali asked softly.

"Just sit and watch the final scene." Yunjuan shrugged and said

"We don't need to be busy with anything anymore. We can leave after watching the last drama performance end."

......

The door of the ward was violently pushed open, and Mel rushed into the ward in a hurry, but was stopped by the doctor.

"You can't go there, the patient is undergoing surgery!"

"Get out of the way, I'm Councilor Myrdalda, and the one lying there is my mother!" Mel yelled angrily.

"Even if this is the case, you can't pass, you will hinder the progress of the operation!"

The doctor's tough attitude caused Mel's face to change slightly, and finally he lowered his head and sighed, saying softly

"Then I'll trouble you."

Mel sat outside the operating room, lowered his head, but felt groggy.

When Mel suddenly received the bad news, he was struck by lightning for an instant.

She had thought she had nothing but hatred for her mother, after all she had banished herself to Piltover since she was a child because she was too weak to be a Noxian.

But people may only know regret and cherish at the moment of loss.

Mel, who was trying to calm himself down, tried to divert his attention and think about the origin and impact of the bombing attack.

It is impossible to find out who did the good deed in a short period of time, but being able to overload the Hexgate and blow him up, no doubt only someone with a deep understanding of Hextech can do it.

In other words, they have in-depth insights into the knowledge of the magic field. After all, the essence of Hex technology is just another form of magic.

But if so, Mel has no way of sifting through who would be the murderer.

Not too little, but too much.

But if we count the capable and motivated people, perhaps the most likely ones are those in Zaun...

The destruction of the Hex-Flying Gate reveals an extremely bad reality.

Piltover, which lost its largest shipping port, will face a heavy blow. Before rebuilding the Hexgate, Piltover will not be able to get a large amount of material transportation as before.

In other words, they must fight Zaun with the military power they currently have.

It can be said that the result that was very likely to win the victory now has to sit and watch the balance tilt to Zaun's side.

Thinking of this, Mel bit his own lip, and the rusty taste of blood spread in his mouth, which was undoubtedly the taste of regret.

The door of the operating room was opened again.

When Mel stood up and saw the doctor who lowered his head, he felt chills all over his body.

58. Speech Up and Down

On Dai Jinluo Square, the square where many Mrs. Piltover gathered was filled with a chill atmosphere.

The series of accidents that happened in the past month made every Mrs. Piltover have to admit the fact that their homeland, which has been peaceful for hundreds of years, may be about to usher in war.

No matter how much they cursed the Zaunites, no matter how much they cursed the Demacians and Noxians who had destroyed their homeland, war was inevitable.

This time, it was no longer a simple problem that money could solve. For those rats that crawled out of the city, killing Mrs. Piltover was their greatest desire.

"Why should I give a speech?"

Jess frowned and looked at Camille in front of him. After the bloody cleansing of almost the entire Uptown, this woman almost became the queen of Piltover, but now, she pushed herself to the front.

"Piltover needs someone who can stand in the sun, but that person won't be me, and it won't be the Philos family."

Camille said flatly and calmly

"Mrs. Piltover should usher in a 'Prime Minister of the People' instead of a simple MP. Your background is very suitable, your image is also very good, and most importantly, you are a scientist."

The corners of Jess's mouth twitched slightly. Just saying this matter made him feel strange. This Mrs. Cinder, who bloody cleaned up the fewest people before her, actually made a wedding dress for him in the end?

But... the reason for this is also known after a little thought.

Just like what Mrs. Gray said, Piltover, where the demands of the civilian class are becoming increasingly fierce, no longer needs a high-ranking family member. People like Jess who came from an 'ordinary' background will undoubtedly be more satisfied with their first prime minister. appeal.

The Philos family can't play this role, and the character of Mrs. Gray is more suitable to lead their family to continue to serve as the watcher in the shadows.

Moreover, a scientist serving as the first-generation Prime Minister can also fully meet the expectations of the Gray Lady for Piltover, a city-state based on technological development.

"...do you think our war with Zaun is really inevitable?"

"The people of Zaun will not compromise, and Mrs. Piltover can only fight." Camille said lightly

"The relationship between the two cities should be more like one. Piltover and Zaun should not be so unhealthy parasitism and extraction, but should be a kind of cycle."

"Since you know this, why have you never tried to change it?"

Jess regretted his words as soon as he said them. He looked at the expressionless Camille and lowered his head in silence.

Change?How can it be simple?As Victor said, if the good life gained by exploiting the people of Zaun becomes a matter of course, then correcting this mistake will only meet the opposition of all Piltovers.

It is rarely a luxury such as conscience that determines a person's good and evil, and it is always one's own standpoint and practical interests that can determine good and evil.

"...I know what I have to do."

Jess walked up to the stage silently. Facing the dark crowd of people, with questioning and longing eyes, Jess started his speech, as skillful as ever

"Piltover has stood for a hundred years, we have faced countless challenges, we have overcome many difficulties and dangers, but we have always stood..."

"The birth of Zaun was a mistake."

In front of Fulgan's Bar in the lower city, facing the gathered Zaun people, Victor's calm voice was like a report

"A wrong bomb killed countless innocent people and sent us into this dark underground. But the people who made the mistake never thought about correcting their mistakes, but continued their actions."

"People in the lower city! We must admit that we have sorry for them, but this is not a reason for them to resort to violence!"

Jess's voice is impassioned and ups and downs. A natural politician must have the natural ability to speak, and the words that drive the infection can incite people's emotions.

;: Just like the people below, even though most of them are still dazed, they can still be touched by Jess's words

"They think we have to have them, but they are wrong." Victor looked at the pair of longing eyes in the dark mud, and said calmly

"They created our terrible environment, enslaved us to produce what they sold to us, and squeezed us with so-called high technology, but knowledge is never expensive, they are cheap, and they should be cheap."

"Pillowtown does not desire war, but if someone wants to take what is ours, we must take our guns!"

Jess raised his fist high and roared passionately

"For Piltover, for Liberty and Progress!"

The people below followed him and raised their arms and shouted, even though they might not understand the meaning of this speech at all.

Jess's face was extremely bitter, only he understood how embarrassing he was to say these words against his conscience.

But... helpless, he has no choice, he is Mrs. Piltover, and his position is destined to fight for his own people.

"Mrs. Piltover doesn't want war, they are afraid of war." Victor said softly

"It's never the civilians in the upper city who fight us, but the big capitalists who have been deprived of their benefits by us, because without Zaun, they have no capital to show off."

"So, don't be afraid of war, Zaun just needs to speak out. Everyone, will we have a worse ending? If we are destined to lose, it is better to drag Picheng than to lose only one of us. lose together."

"Yeah, drag all the Piltovers!!!"

The Zaun people surrounding Victor cheered and roared fiercely, but Victor didn't feel happy at all, he only felt noisy and ridiculous.

He returned to his workshop, Skye cut off the growing hair for him, and asked softly

"Has enough of the top been cut?"

"It's not enough, it's still close." Victor said lightly.

He knew that at this moment, on the surface of Piltover, there would be a speech full of grim calculations, with sinister overtones.A speech about politics, about order, about camaraderie, about power.

But speeches are needed only when campaigning; now, actions are needed.

......

We drink blood, we eat flesh and blood, we are pretenders walking in the dark night and death.

The preaching of the Flesh Cult is still full of demagogy and threats, but Elena has not encouraged her followers for a long time.

After witnessing the existence of Yunjuan and recognizing his emotions, Elena discovered the nature of this 'endless flesh and blood'.

He didn't care about his believers at all, he didn't care about them derived from his blood, and he even felt that these monsters who acted without authorization were an obstacle to admiration.

God does not love His believers, perhaps the most fatal blow to religion.

But Elena has no intention of disbanding the church. She wants to maintain this belief, maintain this framework, and continue the deception called belief.

Anyway, the gods are just wooden idols placed on the shrines. Even if they are real gods, what is the relationship with the idols worshiped in the mind?

Their gods don't love them, their gods don't even need them, so they don't have to hang from a tree as believers.

Everyone is just getting together and getting together!

But just when Elena thought that Yunjuan needed them to do something, Yunjuan told her—whatever.
